When Turibius
undertook the reform of the clergy as well as unjust officials, he naturally
suffered opposition. Some tried, in human fashion, to explain God's law in such
a way as to sanction their accustomed way of life. He answered them in the
words of Tertullian, "Christ said, 'I am the truth'; he
did not say, 'I am the custom.'"
St
Turibius, pray for us!
